Polar Bear Dip Raises Cool Cash (Posted On: Friday, April 03, 2015)

Staff of the Meridian Credit Union hosted another successful
Collingwood Polar Bear Dip in support of the Collingwood G&M Hospital
Foundation. This year, the event drew 50
dippers who together with sponsors raised over $20,000 for cardiac monitors at
the G&M Hospital. 50 brave souls
plunged into the frigidly cold waters of Georgian Bay on March 29th in support
of the cause.

The Hospital Foundation would like to recognize and thank
the incredible group of sponsors who helped to make the event a success. Blue Mountain Honda and a list of other
incredible supporters pulled together a spectacular show.

Congratulations to Dan McEwen, winner of the $1000 travel
voucher generously. Individuals raising $200 or more in pledges were eligible
for this draw. Congratulations also to
Kevin Blair, winner for best costume. Honourable mentions for best Team
Costumes go to the Just-Ice League from Jean Vanier High School - Joseph Spoor,
Jack Ready, Laura Promm, Megan Minnikin, Zac Hacquard and Sara Barbadoro.
